Preliminary Ratings: Friday 12/01/17

CBS takes the first Friday in December, with its regular line up all in originals. The three crime dramas were the three most watched programs of the night and posted three of the top four ratings in the A18-49 demographic.

NBC was on the tail of CBS, as DATE LINE basically tied CBS from 9 to 11 PM, in the three demographic categories.

ABC's AGENTS OF SHIELD had its season premiere and its ratings picked up where INHUMANS left off. Just 2.8 million viewers tuned into the first episodes of the season and the series tied HELL'S KITCHEN for third in the A18-49 demo, in the 8 PM hour.

FOX was a close fourth place, topping ABC in the younger A18-34 demo.
